Seated across from Neeta Lulla, I felt the ambience reverberate with nostalgia. Renowned for her four-time national award-winning costume design, she has left an indelible mark on the fashion industry, particularly through her work in over 400 films. Lulla's career blossomed in the film industry, where she designed costumes for iconic films like Chandni (1989) and Lamhe (1991), helping bring the quintessential Yash Chopra heroine to life, and later on period films like Devdas (2002) and Jodha Akbar (2013). She has dressed actors like Sridevi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Rajnikanth, blending Indian aesthetics with contemporary flair seamlessly. On the occasion of clocking four decades in the industry, the legendary fashion and costume designer reflects on her journey to the zenith of cinema and fashion in India. She also talks about her ongoing work through the House of Neeta Lulla.
